New 243Ways Microgaming Online Slots

Two new video slots were released by Microgaming in February and both are doing roaring business. Dragon Dance and Bikini Party are as different as chalk and cheese but they share two things in common. Both have a fun theme and employ the same slots engine. These slot games are live at Microgaming online casinos such as All Slots, Lucky Nugget and Royal Vegas.

The slots engine is based on the popular Microgaming 243 ways to win paylines structure. You can wager from 1 to 10 coins per payline, with the coin size varying from 0.01 credits to 5.00 credits. The total bet is 25 times the line bet. High roller online casino players will love this bet range because it opens up huge payouts. The wild symbol appears on reels 2 and 4 and substitutes for all symbols except for the scatter symbol. Two or more scatter symbols award scatter payouts. Three or more scatter symbols trigger the free spins feature in which you will be awarded 15 free spins at tripled payouts. The free spins can be retriggered.

Bikini Party has the theme of beach volleyball. The court is set in the background of the clear sea and sky. The protagonists and high paying symbols are five girls in colourful bikinis. You can tell that they are expert players from the win animations. The Bikini Party logo is the wild symbol and the volleyball is the scatter symbol. Dragon Dance was launched by Microgaming to celebrate the Chinese New Year, which was on February 8. You can see the red lanterns hanging outside the houses in the background. The festivities are captured through symbols like dragon dancer, lion dancer, Chinese couple, drummer and cymbals. The playing card icons are decorated with Chinese emblems. The Dragon Dance logo is the wild symbol and the firecracker is the scatter symbol.

Bikini Party and Dragon Dance include the Microgaming Respins feature. After every spin there will be a Respin value for each reel. This is the amount that you will have to pay to spin only that reel keeping the other reels fixed. If the re-spin of a particular reel has the potential to deliver large payouts then its Respin value will be large. This feature is optional and meant for players who are willing to take some risk. If you feel that none of the Respin values is worth exercising you can move to the next spin in the normal manner.
